Conspiracists Believe NASA Have Confirmed A '15 Day Blackout' On Earth

The conspiracists are at it again. This time they think Jupiter and Venus are set to collide on Monday, plunging the Earth into 15 days of darkness.

To be fair, the two planets will appear in conjunction over the UK on Monday morning, according to the BBC, but no credible news site is reporting the two of them smashing into one another.

An online conspiracy theory claims that the whole world will be going completely dark for more than two weeks this month. Their evidence for this is that NASA have apparently 'confirmed' it.

A statement purported to be written by NASA official Charles Boden - who I imagine will be pissed off if he's been reading David Icke's forum recently - says that world will be plunged into darkness from 15 November to 29 November.

The fake statement reads: "NASA has confirmed that the Earth will experience 15 days of total darkness between November 15 and November 29, 2017. The event, according to NASA, hasn't occurred in over 1 Million years.

"Astronomers from NASA have indicated that the world will remain in complete darkness starting on Sunday, November 15, 2017 at 3am, and will end on Monday, November 30, 2017 at 4:15 p.m.

"According to officials, the 'November Black Out' event will be caused by another astronomical event between Venus and Jupiter."

It's not just the conspiracists who are seeing a grim future for humanity either. Craig Hamilton-Parker, a psychic renowned for seemingly being able to predict events before they happen, including Brexit and Donald Trump's victory, reckons we're in for some dark times in the coming months.

Among the other world crises he sees on the horizon are: US forces striking North Korea by blowing up a key trade route, Kim Jong-un being overthrown by his own people, and the sinking of a US warship.
